SPIRITUAL GIFTS

I

Human capacities vary greatly- They can in part be measured. tabulated. assessed, their probable development anticipated. Yet the elgfnellt, of the lncalculable and unpredictable remains. The hub scientific chart! of human b'.i"”" four are no more than 8PP1”0Ximl' tions. Any man's life is. in the last resort, unprecedented.

st. Paul put. it differently when he wrote. "there are diversities of gifts." Here is an attitude to hu- man capacities. which recoiniml at once their mysterious P1”0V'n' anoe, in that they are gifts from God. A man may feel proud of his capacities; no man may be nghtly proud of his gifts. To be greatly gifted is to have cause to be greatly thank-fui.

Jesus commended the steward who had made good use of the tal- ants entrusted to him. He even admired the vitality and fore- thought of the unjust steward who used his brains for his own self- lntcrest. He had no good word to say "for the man who was sorry for himself because he had been given so little. and afraid to use that little. so that he went and buried it in the ground.

whether they be great or small, God's gifts are intended for use. They increase in the using: in be- ing given afresh to others they re- turn a. more valuable and more

permanent possession than before.

The Christian knows the truth of this in regard particularly to those spiritual gifts of which at. Paul is writing in this passage. He knows that it is his responsibility to be I good steward of the manifold grace of God. He knows that he has nothing which he did not first receive. Any faith which he has is a. response to God's activity: med- itated. it may be. through the in- fluence of a friend. I speaker. I writer. the home in which he has been brought up. the Church in whose fellowship he worships.

If he is entering into ii-Sc. it is because of him who came to bring abundant life: if he is growing freedom of action and thought it is because he has accepted tr-.at service which is an initiation into perfect freedom.

Yet, Just because of the wonder of this experience. it is hard some- times to recognize the validity of I Christian experience which has been slightly different. It may be more easy to respect and admire a religious tradition which appears widely unlike on own then countenance one hich has many similarities but certain subtle dif- ferences.

The very fact of these differences appears to be not a denial but s criticism of one's own convictions. Yet if that feeling turns to self- critlcism it may be creative.

EULLETINS FROM BIRDLAND

WlNirn:I)':. wltsq

HATCIIING TIME

The majority of us Ire fairly well acquainted with Robins. their beautiful green-blue elsl. I-lid their babies. Probably you have wstched one of their big, untidy nests closely enough to know that Mrs. Robin, who is not Is bril- ifantly coloured as her husband. lays In egg I day. Ind melt hatch in the same order. The nest- iings. all different ages. are born practically naked and quite help- less. Gradually down crows on them. and later feathers; but for some time they must remain It homo and be cared for by the parents.

We are apt to think this is the pattern for all birds, but here we are wrong. It is so with many perching birds, but by no means all of them. A Bed-winged Black- bird. for instance, lays on egg a

'” day. yet does not start incubating

until the whole clutch is ready. About the 12th day, sll the babies come popping out of their shells. ready to start life Is triplets. qusdrupiets. or quinteis. Is the case may be.

Birds of prey, as Eagles. Hawks, and Owls, are born either partly or entirely covered with down, snd from there on. their story is the same Is that of the Robin. The

Great Horned Owl. and the Cuc- koo (whose babies come naked) vary matters Inother way. Their

eggs are not laid on successive days. consequently there is some- times a difference of several days in the ages of the youngsters.

A great number of birds. includ- ing shore and water birds. are all hatched at once. born with little feathers. and able to look after themselves cither immediately or very soon. These are known as "prccocial." They come from eggs that are much larger in pr0pal'- tlon to the size of the parent. be- cause there must be sufficient al- bumen in them to care . for the chick. that it may be far advanced when born. Newly hatched Kill- deers (whose period of incubation is 21 days). Ruffed Grouse, and Woodcocks are all able to run around almost as soon as their down is day. Little Sara, Rails. practically at birth. can swim and protect themselves. Ducks emerge from their shells. dry off, and in half an hour are ready to take to the water. . Pcrching birds remove egg shells from their nest when babies are born. that attention may . not be drawn to the home; but par- ents of precocial chicks do not bother. as the family will not be remaining near. This seems to show intelligence, yet scion” - say it is only instinct.

Oldest of the birds. as identified from fossils. were something be- tween a. flying lizzsrd and a bird. They were covered with feathers and bear the name of choeopterx. Relics of such strange creatures were b1'0U8hi- to light in Switzer- land in 1736, and are said by set- entists to be remains of ancestors of the ostrich.

In some parts of AustrIlfa the annual rainfall does not exceed three to five inches. Feed remsins mean but a few weeks out of the year. It is cured by the sun and remains standing almost indefin. itely.

Under Australia's forest conser- vation scheme the land down un- der will always have plenty of trees. for the holding of cutting licenses are carefully supervised to insure that they take only trees mafked by the foresters for their use. ,

Had a. similar law been in force in this province our forest resour- ces would not now be so badly ex. haustcd.

New South Wales can bout of having one of the most remarkable cities in the world. Its name is Broken Hill. and no other siseable town is within 300 miles of it. Mil- lions of dollars worth of silver. lead, and zinc from Broken Hill have cnrlcllcd Australians.

In our present calendar week days and month dates never sgreei from one year to the next. Quart- ers have 90. 91 or 92 days. Haiti years have I81. 102. or 184 days. Months range in number of days from 251 to 31. and a month may have five Sundays one year and only four the next. which is one of the reasons why the World Calendar Association of New York City urges adoption of a new cal- endar.
